Hot Finished (normalised rolled) and Cold Formed

Comparison
Normalised rolled
 Formed at normalising temperature.
 Better metal flow during forming
 Facilitates tight corner profile without corner
cracking.
 Uniform grain structure.

Cold formed
 Formed at ambient temperature
 Some degree of cold working in corners during
forming
 Can be susceptible to corner cracking unless slack
corners maintained
 Non-uniform grain structure

Grain Structure and Hardness

Comparison
Normalised rolled

 Uniform grain structure and hardness


values.
 Mechanical properties are stable and
uniform across whole section.
 Slow loss of strength as heat applied

Cold formed
 Varying grain structure and hardness values around
section, particularly in corners and seam weld area.
 Mechanical properties vary around section.
 Rapid and unpredictable loss of strength when heat
is applied.
 Return to parent coil strength on heating

Mechanical Properties

Tensile Test

Fully Normalised

 Test results follow normal load


extension characteristics with clear
indication of yield strength.
 Gives the recommended ratio of yield
to ultimate strength-0.84 maximum.
 High ductility-adequate warning of
dangerous overload condition
indicated by excessive deformation.
Essentials of Structural Hollow Section Tata Steel Slide 30

Mechanical Properties

Tensile Test

Cold Formed

 Test results differ in samples taken


from corners and flat sides.
 There is no clear yield point-0.2%
proof stress is normally quoted for
yield strength.
 Increase in ratio of yield to ultimate
strength-may be above that
recommended by design standards.
 Lower ductility-less visible warning of
dangerous overload condition-
possibility of brittle fracture.

Compression

Normalised
 Negligible residual stresses.
 Design strength from ‘a’ curve.
Cold Formed
 Varying residual stresses extremely
high in corners
 Design strength from ‘c’ curve.
 ‘a’ curve values 15% higher than ‘c’
curve at λ = 40 and 140, and 26%
higher at λ = 80. Compression
capacity can be up to 34% higher
than for the same size cold formed

Galvanising & Bending (roll forming)

Comparison between fully normalised and cold formed


Normalised rolled
 Formed at normalising temperature.
 Negligible residual stresses.
 No distortion during welding ,galvanising,
bending due to release of residual
manufacturing stresses.

Cold formed

 Formed at ambient temperature.


 High degree of residual stresses from cold forming,
particularly at the corners..
 Tendency to distort during welding ,galvanising or
bending due to residual manufacturing stresses
